About this field
Revisited every five days for two years to catch Type Ia supernovae out to redshift 2 and beyond. Continuous visibility from L2 is what makes a cadence this regular possible.
Product status
A pre-flight simulation product. Generated on the ground to build and test the calibration pipeline before launch — useful for developing analysis code, but it is synthetic, not sky.
Exposure
Pointing
Band
Reaches past the H band for the highest-redshift sources.
Access

Source positions, colours and crowding are derived from the field's galactic latitude and character and from the band's pivot wavelength, and every exposure of a field draws the same sky so dithers line up — but none of it is data from the telescope.
